Chapo trap house is maybe one of the most famous "dirtbag left" podcasts.

Brace Belden I'm not surprised you haven't heard of, but his podcast with Liz franczak, true anon, is possibly the best one out there. They've been exposing musk for over half a decade before it was cool.

I'm surprised you haven't heard or Hasan to be honest. He's hugely popular and one of the largest streamers. Have ypu heard of cumtown? That's the podcast where Adam Friedland is from.

I have finally understood the true meaning of Land Day My family has lived in Shujayea for centuries. Now we face the very real threat of losing our inherited land.

"This year, marking Land Day carries a different meaning: Despite the continuing genocidal war, we are still here, we are still standing, and we are still holding on to the land that we inherited from our ancestors."
